The Homeless Garden Project in Santa Cruz, California, provides jobs and life training for homeless people within the therapeutic context of an organic garden. Meaningful and productive work within the garden or related enterprises is the basis for the healing process necessary for many homeless people to re-enter the culture of work. This process is also one of community building — allowing for renewed relationships as community members reap the rewards of bountiful organic produce and a decreased population of homeless members. This effective practice offers steps on how to duplicate this project in other towns as shared in materials distributed with the video, Growing Hope: The Homeless Garden Project, produced by Ric Howard and distributed by The Video Project, San Francisco, CA.
